feat(memory): LLM-assigned per-fact expected_valid_days and staleFactsToExtend (#4143)
Re-ports this feature onto the pluggable-memory backend introduced in #4122
(the original #4143 was force-pushed clean by accident and auto-closed). The
#4122 refactor moved the staleness logic into the self-contained DeerMem
backend (backends/deermem/deermem/core/) and reverted it to the pre-feature
global-threshold version, so the per-fact lifetime work is re-applied here
against the new module layout + DI (MemoryUpdater is now (config, storage,
llm)-injected; config lives on DeerMemConfig, not host MemoryConfig).

**expected_valid_days (creation)**
The LLM assigns a per-fact review window when storing each new fact. The
prompt exposes five tiers (<=14 d transient -> >365 d very stable). The value
is capped at write time by staleness_age_days x staleness_max_lifetime_multiplier
(default 20.0 -> 1800 d ~= 5 years; range 1.0-100.0) so the model cannot set
an initial lifetime so long the fact is never re-evaluated. The default 20.0
makes the "> 365 d very stable" tier achievable out of the box (3.0 silently
clamped it to 270 d).

**staleFactsToExtend (review)**
During staleness review the LLM can emit extension entries for kept facts
whose window seems miscalibrated. new_evd = min(days_since_created +
extend_by_days, staleness_max_extension_days). Extensions use an absolute
ceiling (default 3650 d ~= 10 years; range 90-36500) rather than the creation
multiplier - they are deliberate review decisions that must be able to advance
the window beyond the initial cap, but the absolute bound prevents timedelta
overflow (a model-supplied extend_by_days of 10**9 previously crashed every
later candidate-selection pass with OverflowError) and LLM misfire.

**Invariant correctness**
- Read-time cap removed from _effective_fact_staleness_age; cap is write-time
  only so extensions actually advance the review window.
- proposed_remove_ids hoisted out of the removals sub-block and used to exclude
  from extension, so a cap-surviving proposed-removal fact is never extended.
- extend_by coerced to int before the > 0 guard (a fractional 0.9 would pass
  the float check then int() to 0, silently writing a zero-delta extension).
- days_since uses total_seconds() // 86400 (not .days truncation).
- staleness-section html.escape uses quote=False to match the prompt.py
  convention; only <, >, & break element-text structure.

**Tests**
test_memory_staleness_review.py was module-level skipped by #4122 ("full
unit-test migration is a follow-up"). This PR performs that migration: DI
construction via (DeerMemConfig, _FakeStorage), _build_staleness_section back
to the (candidates, config) signature, plus new coverage for per-fact
selection, EXTEND with the absolute cap, the overflow next-cycle regression,
the proposed-removal-not-extendable case, fractional extend_by skipping, and
the creation-time cap. 67 tests, all green.
